Leonid Andreyev (1871–1919)
Autore di I sette impiccati
Sull'Autore
Leonid Andreyev became one of the most popular writers of the first decade of the twentieth century because of his ability to combine modernist and realist techniques and his willingness to break taboos of theme. His subjects included topics, such as venereal disease, and various abnormalities. His mostra altro works caused a scandal but won their author a wide following. In the aftermath of 1905, Andreyev dealt with the defeated revolutionaries' moral and psychological dilemmas and with the intelligentsia as a whole, while in The Tale of the Seven Who Were Hanged (1909), he produced a stunning condemnation of the death penalty. Andreyev had a talent for depicting the dark, irrational forces in life within existential dilemmas. However, his pessimism and mysticism are sometimes undercut by a blatant tugging on the heartstrings and a lack of personal engagement and authenticity. Andreyev died in 1919.

The Abyss peels back layers of socially constructed high-mindedness in the male protagonist to reveal individual's capabilty for debasement. Beautiful prose depicting weather in inspired detail sets off sordid acts. The Lie examines one of author's fears, infinity: 'never did I understand so profoundly and terribly the meaning of infinity, norever realized it with such force. I felt in fear and pain that my very life was passing out in a slender ray...until I became a stranger to myself--desolated, speechless, almost dead.' Also: 'what madness it is--to be man and to seek the truth! What pain!' In Laughter, society's pain: 'Don't you feel that there's a living, suffering face behind my rediculous mask'.
Last story, The Red Laugh, also more famous, early account re war's reality: the first line reads 'Horror and madness.' Preceeded 'All Quiet On The Western Front' in depicting immediate horror and longterm madness of war. 'All were silent, as if an army of dumb people were moving, and when anyone fell down, he fell in silence;...as though these bumb men were also blind and deaf. I sutmbled and fell several times and then involuntarily opened my eyes, and all that I saw seemed a wild fiction, the terrible raving of a mad world.' Red laugh possibly = Bolshevik asendence. 'Something occured, something darkened our vision, and two regiments, belonging to the same army, facing each other at a distance of one verst, had been destroying each other for a whole hour in the full conviction that iw was the enemy they had before them' = White vs Red Armies? Foresaw Iron Curtain: 'A time will come when nobody will be able to go away from here.'… (altro)
